This paper proposes an Efficient Framework for Quantum Video (EFQV) in quantum computer. EFQV adds time index information into different frames on BRQI (a Quantum Image Representation based on Bitplanes, BRQI) images, and each bitplanes quantum image adds a time index. Complement of Colors (COC) operator, Reverse of Bitplanes (ROB) operator, and Shift of Frames (SOF) operator are designed for EFQV and its operators are tested on the IBM quantum computation framework qiskit. Experimental results show the effectiveness of EFQV and its operations on quantum computing environment. Compared with other frameworks, EFQV has advantages in time complexity and quantum cost.
Quantum image processing is a new and exciting subdiscipline of quantum computation that aims to extend classical image processing applications on a quantum computer.The research starts with a proposal of a representation of images on a quantum computer, named Multi-Channel Representation for Quantum Images (MCQI).This representation encodes the positions and their corresponding colors in the images as a normalized quantum state.For an n by n sized image, 2n qubits and 3 qubits are used to carry the position and color respectively.The preparation procedure of a quantum image is discussed by the multi-channel polynomial preparation, which turns the initial quantum states to the MC-QI quantum states.The image retrieval procedure by quantum measurement is proposed which converts the quantum states to classical images.Furthermore, based on MCQI, some categories of possible processing transformations are suggested.By considering the structure of MCQI representation, the Channel of Interest (CoI), the Channel Swapping (CS), the Color Space Transformation (CST), and Alpha Blending (αB) quantum image processing operators are discussed using unitary transformations with low complexity.All the 4 operators are used to process the information about color in the images.Their complexity are analyzed in terms of the number of basic quantum gates which are needed to build the transformations, and they can be built by 9, 3, 287, 28 basic quantum gates, respectively.Some strategies for designing new transformations from known ones are proposed as well.These strategies can be used to design further algorithms for image processing.Based on the MCQI representation and the four image processing operators, a quantum measurement based double-key double-domain watermarking strategy for multichannel quantum images (MC-WaQI) is developed.In these application, a revised of the original MCQI representation and some restricted versions of the transformations are considered.The research provides the foundation to design other quantum image processing algorithms and can be extend to the following areas:• MCQI representation can be used to build quantum image database,• new frequency operations on quantum images based on quantum Fourier quantum discrete cosine, and quantum wavelet transformations,• building the special effect on color quantum movie,• image data transmission by quantum communication.
A flexible representation of quantum images (FRQI) was proposed to facilitate the extension of classical (non-quantum)-like image processing applications to the quantum computing domain. The representation encodes a quantum image in the form of a normalized state, which captures information about colors and their corresponding positions in the images. Since its conception, a handful of processing transformations have been formulated, among which are the geometric transformations on quantum images (GTQI) and the CTQI that are focused on the color information of the images. In addition, extensions and applications of FRQI representation, such as multi-channel representation for quantum images (MCQI), quantum image data searching, watermarking strategies for quantum images, a framework to produce movies on quantum computers and a blueprint for quantum video encryption and decryption have also been suggested. These proposals extend classical-like image and video processing applications to the quantum computing domain and offer a significant speed-up with low computational resources in comparison to performing the same tasks on traditional computing devices. Each of the algorithms and the mathematical foundations for their execution were simulated using classical computing resources, and their results were analyzed alongside other classical computing equivalents. The work presented in this review is intended to serve as the epitome of advances made in FRQI quantum image processing over the past five years and to simulate further interest geared towards the realization of some secure and efficient image and video processing applications on quantum computers.

Quantum image processing (QIP) has become one of the most significant fields in quantum computing (QC); it merges quantum mechanics with image processing to improve classical image-processing speed, which involves various operations to advance quantum image representation (QIR). Accordingly, we introduce two new QIRs: The first is based on the wavelength and bit plane, called the quantum image representation bit plane (QIRBP), and the second is based on the wavelength and adjacency pixels, which is called the quantum image representation wavelength correlation (QIRWC). The QIRBP model uses $ b+2n+6 $ quantum bit (qubits) to store a digital color image of size $ {2}^{n}\times {2}^{n} $. In contrast, the QIRWC needs $ 2b+4n+8 $ qubits to store a digital color image of size $ {2}^{n}\times {2}^{n} $ and to entangle the wavelength between two neighboring pixels. While the QIRWC approach is more complex, it is also more efficient on the basis of the transformation data. The complexity arises from the level of information being transmitted. In this work, two new representation methods (QIRBP and QIRWC) are proposed to overcome existing QIR weaknesses by enhancing storage efficiency, enabling compact high-resolution representation, improving data transformation through wavelength correlation and pixel adjacency, reducing noise, achieving greater versatility, and advancing scalable QIR. To prove the efficiency of the proposed methods, they were analyzed and compared with other efficient quantum image representations, outlining their similar and different aspects.

Ultimately, a general framework and preparation strategy for quantum video representation are proposed based on quantum image representation.
